Set up the routine

Make the routine match what actually happens

Replace the sample steps with the words used at home or school. Show only the amount of information the child needs, then print the chart.

Set up the page

  1. Choose the preset closest to the routine you already use.
  2. Rename, remove, and reorder the steps so the sequence matches real life.
  3. Check the preview, then print the chart or save it as a PDF.

Choose how the routine appears

Routine board

Use one ordered page when the same steps happen in the same sequence.

Checklist

Add checkboxes when the child can mark each step without moving cards.

Weekly grid

Use the grid for habits that repeat across several days instead of one sequence.

Cards or done tabs

Choose cut-apart cards or done tabs when steps need to move or disappear after completion.

Keep the chart easy to follow

Start with fewer steps

Remove anything that is already automatic. A shorter chart is easier to scan and maintain.

Use familiar wording

Match the labels to the short phrases adults already use during the routine.

Print where it is used

Place the chart near the bed, bathroom, entryway, desk, or other place where the steps happen.

Routine chart questions

Can I change every step?

Yes. Presets are starting points. You can rename, add, remove, and reorder every step before printing.

What should I do when the routine is long?

Split it into two charts or remove steps the child already completes independently. Keep the visible sequence short enough to scan.

Can I print cards instead of one chart?

Yes. Choose the card-sheet layout for cut-apart cards or done tabs for a reusable completion chart.

What is the difference between a routine chart and a visual schedule?

A routine chart usually shows a repeated checklist. A visual schedule is more useful when cards move, choices change, or a fuller day needs to stay visible.
